The children's cartoon, "Genesis," the biblical story of Adam and Eve, is not only sexist but also quite exaggerated. Although the information and content are seemingly biblical, there are still some discrepancies if you analyze everything closely. Some of the more arguable parts of the video are the characterizations of Adam and Eve. This video clearly suggests the idea of male dominance and superiority over women. Basically, this video highlights the facts and ideas that should be taken from the story of Adam and Eve and presents them in a condensed and biased perspective in attempt to express their interpretation of the biblical event. .
While this video is a simplistic and crude version of the most disastrous turning point in human history, it outlines the main ideas of the story with enough biblical value to convey their message. However, some details of the story were misplaced in the sequence of events that was told in the video. First, in the video, God only told Adam and Eve to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil after Eve had arrived in the Garden of Eden. When in reality, the bible says in Genesis 2:16-17, "But the Lord God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden-- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die." So, when the video makes it out that God only warned them of the tree after Eve was made, it perceives that Eve is more disobedient and even weaker or inferior to Adam. This simple switch in the sequence of events puts a different perspective on how people view Eve and the decisions that she made in the garden. Since we are persuaded to think of Eve as an inferior to Adam, no one is taken by surprise when the serpent talks her into eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge. .
Another discrepancy in the video is that Adam expresses loneliness and want for a partner after seeing the two deer together.
